[rab] Yes I could pay someone to some some of the stuff I do. But they wouldn't do it as well as I do. If they did, I wouldn't able to afford them. Also, I enjoy 95% of what I do - especially the quality control :-)

[Phil] I hear you. The windy miller is the same - he takes huge pride in the work that he does (construction project management - and this one is a HUGE project) but being on site to make sure things happen on schedule takes its toll and he's usually too exhausted to do anything on Sunday - which is the only day we have at home together. So much for moving here to spend more time together. Part of my 'job' at the moment is taking care of him, as much as he'll let me. *sigh*

[CdM] Was what? ;o)

(pen) Cogitavit ergo erat. I dunno.

[pen] Congratulations!

Well done.

Called "News has come to Harvard": we make up new elements for the periodic table and provide hilarious, surreal or topical explanations of their nature and purpose. Eg:

Excusium: constituent element in whitewash. Frequently used by politicians.

Any support?

Is that Job of Old Testament fame?

[Kim] I see! Good title, tidy idea. One on board =)

[Tuj] Thanks. Any against? Where should I slot it?

(Kim) Go ahead.

Thanks. No slots currently available here or anywhere else. Has "Bent Saws" reached its proverbial, do you think?

Hello there. I'm going to be taking the site down for a short while for an upgrade.

Let's see if that has worked? It seems I've even stopped the galloping slashes this time!

Just saw the Elements game. There is a site that I had bookmarked and only deleted on Friday which is very enjoyable. Apparently now been published as a book - http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/sillymolecules/sillymols.htm - Molecules with Silly Names. Some of them were featured on QI a few years ago.
